Setlist: C-Kan & Pipo Ti

Last Sunday, July 30, C-Kan & Pipo Ti took the stage in C-Kan’s hometown of Guadalajara, Mexico at the Dias de Sol Festival, named after the duo’s album released earlier this year. To help celebrate their spot as headliners, they paired up to curate a playlist exclusively for TIDAL.

Besides being a musical genius and cultural icon, Prince was a film star and well regarded as one the greatest live performers of all time. To help ensure the Purple One’s legacy lives on, we’ve created a playlist comprised of Prince’s most memorable music videos and live performances.

This week, four new videos have been added: “Raspberry Beret,” “Little Red Corvette,” “Paisley Park” and “4 The Tears In Your Eyes.” Watch Prince pour his heart and soul into each song while commanding the stage here.
